I am experiencing weight loss for the past few mths now although im eating same amounts i also have recurring mouth ulcers but i eat enough fruit and veg. I had fecal impaction two wks ago and had to go hospital and was told a kidney infection caused it, i dont see how this is possible and its not the answer to my other symptoms. I also regularly have burning pain in my stomach. Any ideas what could be wrong i am a 21 year old female
You may want to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment which would include physical examination and blood tests. The initial blood screen may include a full blood count, ESR (checks for inflammation in the body), HIV screen, thyroid function test, kidney and liver tests.
The treatment would depend on the cause found.
I hope this helps
